Hammer drills ranked by hammer rate

7 hammer drills from Bosch, Makita and Milwaukee, in order of the hammer rate each maker publishes on its US product page or manual. Highest first. Figures are as published, not tested by us, and makers do not always measure the same way, so treat close figures as close. Each tool is listed once: a bare tool stands for its kits.
